Returns the workspace's Realtime apps as a paginated list, filterable by a case-insensitive name substring. Each entry carries the app's configuration and connection details (app_id, region) but never key secrets. Use List a Realtime app's keys and Create a Realtime app key to manage them.
Query Parameters
name
string
Substring match against the app name (case-insensitive).
sort
string
Field to sort by.
Possible values: created_at, name
order
string
Sort direction. Defaults to desc, which sorts from newest to oldest or largest to smallest, depending on the selected sort field.
Possible values: asc, desc
limit
integer
Maximum number of items to return per page.
starting_after
string
Cursor from the next_cursor field of a previous list response. Returns items immediately after the cursor position in the current sort order.
ending_before
string
Cursor from the prev_cursor or refresh_cursor field of a previous list response. Returns items immediately before the cursor position in the current sort order. prev_cursor returns the preceding page. refresh_cursor anchors at the first row of that response, which on a newest-first sort is how to fetch the items that have appeared since.
include_total
boolean
When true, the response includes a total field with the total number of items matching the request's filters across all pages.
Response Payload
data
array of object
required
Show child attributes
data.created_at
string
required
data.updated_at
string
required
data.client_events
boolean
required
Allow clients to trigger events directly (client events).
data.connection_counting
boolean
required
Count the connections subscribed to each channel and expose the count on channel queries.
data.connection_count_events
boolean
required
Broadcast a connection-count event to a channel's subscribers whenever its connection count changes. Requires connection_counting.
data.watchlist_events
boolean
required
Tell a signed-in member when the members on their watchlist come online or go offline. The watchlist is part of the identity your backend signs at signin.
data.authorized_connections
boolean
required
Require every connection to be authorized.
data.id
string
required
data.app_id
integer
required
The numeric Realtime app id. Use it together with a key and secret to initialize a Realtime client/server SDK. Immutable.
data.name
string
required
A label for the app, shown wherever it is listed.
data.region
string
required
The region this app runs in. Unlike other products, a Realtime app can be placed in a region other than the workspace's home region. Immutable after creation.
data.status
string
required
Lifecycle state of the app. active apps serve connections; suspended apps are provisioned but reject connections.
Possible values: active, suspended
next_cursor
nullable string
required
Cursor for the next page. Pass back as starting_after to advance forward. null when no next page exists.
prev_cursor
nullable string
required
Cursor for the previous page. Pass back as ending_before to step backward. null when no previous page exists.
refresh_cursor
nullable string
required
Refresh anchor, the first row of this response. Pass back as ending_before to fetch what precedes it in the current sort order. On a newest-first sort those are the items that have appeared since; on any other sort they are the items that sort earlier, so refreshing such a list means re-fetching it instead. Non-null whenever data is non-empty; null only on an empty page. Distinct from prev_cursor.
total
nullable integer
Total number of items matching the request's filters across all pages. Present only when include_total=true was passed; otherwise null.
